"most" is a hell of a claim, yea. "they're going to be useful sometimes and will stick around in some form" has been rather clear from early on (they're Transformer++, of course they'd be useful sometim

Might be because it's water tolerant , i.e. it doesn't break down with exposure to water? Roman über-concrete stories are always full of "check out the concrete that's sitting in sea-water, it's still going strong!

You seem to be drastically overcomplicating this. They are asking people who are uncomfortable with it to not use it. The people who are uncomfortable with it are the ones deciding, nothing at all in there implies that they are deciding who

Well. Time to look for a new editor again. Ain't no way I'm giving up my dumb file syncing that works for decades. Maybe this time I'll find one with a sane extension system, so it isn't open-season for malware.

Preloading certainly does seem to be a lost art at times, yeah. It's just so complicated , we might never climb back to such heights.

Yes, I mean it in the sense that the spanner itself and who the spanner funnels money to is so bad that anyone using it has automatically accepted themselves being that bad. Unlike most tools (which the tool analogy leans on heavily), it&#

It's a spanner where every quarter turn costs noticeable money. Which directly funds behavior like this. The tool analogy is intentionally minimizing, and doesn't capture just how different rented tools with constant surveillan

Yup. Anything layout-related could be costly to read, and could force a layout to occur if modified since the last read (even within the same synchronous javascript code). Most things are not deferred until the next layout pass, which i

Personally: make a reading app the only app icon on your home screen on your phone. When reading is the easiest action, you choose it fairly often.

Anubis is by far the least annoying throttler I encounter. Entirely agreed, just crank it up when you get a flood, I much prefer waiting a couple seconds to interacting with custom UI for tens of seconds. I'm so glad to see that (es

Manipulating "studies" doesn't help reveal how true this is (or even if it is, do we perhaps have an inherent level of addiction and phones are just an easy target?), nor help find effective ways to reduce it.

Does it just use "here" / viewing box as a bias, not a hard cutoff? Personally I definitely expect "here" to mean "absolutely no results outside my window under any circumstances" (with some room for fuzzi

both seem equally undesirable to me in all cases where I intend neither. though one also risks undefined behavior, so that is strictly worse. the reason I use a type system is to make error classes unrepresentable (where possible) or a fail

that argument (and many others) also round to essentially "implicit imprecise integer casting is surprising but we do it anyway" which is... perhaps the actual problem??? I've made lints for Go that simply disallow implicit n

as much as I'm not really a fan of Go, and I would love to spend some time in a language that defaults to unsigned ints by default to see just how pleasant or painful it really is, I do think Go makes a reasonable tradeoff here. sign

signed overflow (or underflow) is frequently undefined behavior. (often because it's undefined in C) unsigned is frequently defined. (often because it's defined in C) tough choice. (honestly I just lean towards "over/u

Game websites are second only to restaurants in average UI complexity. Lots of them do extremely complicated stuff to provide game-realistic framerates to visitors so they can see if it meets their expectations (10fps or so).

The only thing I'm seeing there is that line-wrapping might do [something], and a suggested workaround (which, oddly, they don't implement on the page). And the line-wrapping issue doesn't look like that to me, at least when

Without the polarizer, you wouldn't be able to see anything. Unless wearing polarizing sunglasses. But yea, you'd need light on the subject you're looking at it through to take pictures too.

tbh I would probably enjoy a dirt-cheap viewfinder-and-display-less camera, like an even-cheaper charmera. it'd also make a great party-favor thing: hand them out before an event, and optionally gather photos from people at the end.
